long time board stalker, finally signed up!
 

Hello all!

I'm Anna. First time poster long time board stalker. Just turned 25 and I'm ready for a change.

I decided to adapt the south beach way of eating and changing my patterns in the right direction.

However, I have fallen victum time after time to 'cheating' but hope by joining this forum I will make some friends and get some support!!!!

I figured I would focus on setting my eating habits straight and then figure in the exercise. My work is a bit physical a times (heavy lifting, a weight training of sorts, haha), so I'm not totally lacking. Just find it hard to pick an exercise that keeps me interested and semi-fun.

Any help and/or motivation is appriciated!

Hey Anna! You should definitely come hang with us on the 20-Somethings sub-forum if you haven't checked it out already, everyone over there is really great and we'd love to have you!

I think we all totally feel you when it comes to "cheating", and personally I think there's nothing wrong with scheduled cheating. If it's really looking to be a hurdle for you, try scheduling a day every week, every two weeks, or every month where you let yourself indulge, so long as you've stuck to your plan for whatever amount of time. I think you'll find over time that the "cheating" decreases when you allow yourself that. That's how it's been working out for me, anyway, but everyone's different, so just see what works for you. :)

Welcome and good luck!
